Ever since humans moved from using the skins of hunted animals for clothing to farming and using farmed animal hairs and fibers from nonfood crops, and eventually to the manufacture of synthetic fibers, the spinning of yarns has been of importance to (initially) the craft and (subsequently) the science, design, and engi- neering of textiles. This book is aimed at giving the reader a good background on the subject of the conversion of fibers into yarns, and an in-depth understanding of the principles of the various processes involved. It has become popular among some textile tech- nologists to view the subject area as yarn engineering, since there are various yarn structures that, with the blending of different fiber types, enable yarns to be con- structed to meet specific end uses. It is therefore necessary for the yarn engineer to have knowledge of the principal routes of material preparation and of the various modern spinning techniques. These topics are covered in this book. A distinction is made between the terms spinning method and spinning technique by referring to a technique as an implementation of a method, and thereby classifying the many techniques according to methods. The purpose is to try to get the reader to identify commonality between spinning systems, something that the author has found useful in carrying out research into new spinning techniques. With any mass-produced product, one essential requirement is consistency of properties. For yarns, this starts with the chosen fiber to be spun. The yarn technol- ogist has to understand the importance of the various fiber properties used in spec- ifying raw materials, not just with regard to the relation of fiber properties to yarn properties, but especially with respect to the effect of fiber properties on processing performance and yarn quality. These aspects are given careful consideration in various chapters throughout the book. An understanding of the meaning yarn quality is seen to be essential; therefore, some effort is devoted to explaining the factors that govern the concept of yarn quality. Textile designers prefer to use the term yarn design rather than yarn engineering, since the emphasis is often on the aesthetics imparted to the end fabric as opposed to any technical function. Fancy or effect yarns, blends of dyed fibers of different colors, and the plying together of yarns are important topics in yarn design, and the principles and processes employed are described in this book. The material presented is largely that delivered over many years of lecturing and is arranged to be suitable for readers who are new to the subject as well as those who are familiar with the technology and may wish to use this book as a reference source. A basic knowledge of physics and mathematics will be helpful to the reader, but is not essential, since a largely descriptive approach has been taken for the © 2003 by CRC Press LLC majority of the chapters. The few chapters that may be considered more mathemat- ically inclined present a more detailed consideration to a particular topic and should be easily understood by anyone who has studied physics and mathematics at the intermediate level. Chapter 1 gives a suitable introduction to the subject area by outlining much of the basic concepts and discussing what technically constitutes a spun yarn. Chapters 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, and 9 should cover most topics studied by technology students up to graduate level, and Chapter 9 collates material that has been delivered as a module component largely to design students. Chapters 4 and 8, and some areas of Chapter 6 that deal with yarn structure-property relation, have been used as topics within a Masters-level module. Although, at the advanced level of study, programs are mainly based on current research findings, some areas of the earlier chapters may prove useful for conversion candidates. Throughout the book, definitions are used, where appropriate, in an attempt to give the reader a snapshot of a particular technical point or topic, which is then explained in greater detail. It is said that a picture is worth a thousand words, and in dealing with technical concepts, this is a truism. The reader will find, therefore, that effort has been given to fully illustrating the substance of each chapter, and the author hopes that this makes the book a pleasant read for you. © 2003 by CRC Press LLC Author Carl Lawrence, B.Sc.

In this study, we have compared the properties of composite materials made of scutched flax and flax tows from the same batch. A series of unidirectional epoxy composites were manufactured by wet moulding. Mechanical properties of single fibers and composite materials were measured by tensile tests. The tensile properties of single fibers were in the same range. The tensile properties of the unidirectional composites show a similar evolution of properties versus fiber volume fraction. The results show that tows could be used to reinforce high performance composite materials. 1. Introduction A wide range of plant fibers have been studied for composite reinforcement including hemp, jute, sisal and flax [1]. Among them, flax fibers have excellent specific mechanical properties and are being evaluated as a replacement for E-glass fibers [2,3]. Flax (Linum usitatissimum) is the major plant fiber cultivated in northern Europe, mainly for the textile sector. The structure and composition of flax plants is complex [4,5]. The stems contain fiber bundles embedded in cortex tissues at the periphery. In these bundles, single fibers are grouped together by middle lamellae.

  • Complete Sequence of Kenaf (Hibiscus Cannabinus)
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Complete sequence of kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus) mitochondrial genome and comparative analysis Received: 2 November 2017 Accepted: 27 July 2018 with the mitochondrial genomes of Published: xx xx xxxx other plants Xiaofang Liao1,2,3, Yanhong Zhao3, Xiangjun Kong2, Aziz Khan2, Bujin Zhou 2, Dongmei Liu4, Muhammad Haneef Kashif2, Peng Chen2, Hong Wang5 & Ruiyang Zhou2 Plant mitochondrial (mt) genomes are species specifc due to the vast of foreign DNA migration and frequent recombination of repeated sequences. Sequencing of the mt genome of kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus) is essential for elucidating its evolutionary characteristics. In the present study, single- molecule real-time sequencing technology (SMRT) was used to sequence the complete mt genome of kenaf. Results showed that the complete kenaf mt genome was 569,915 bp long and consisted of 62 genes, including 36 protein-coding, 3 rRNA and 23 tRNA genes. Twenty-fve introns were found among nine of the 36 protein-coding genes, and fve introns were trans-spliced. A comparative analysis with other plant mt genomes showed that four syntenic gene clusters were conserved in all plant mtDNAs. Fifteen chloroplast-derived fragments were strongly associated with mt genes, including the intact sequences of the chloroplast genes psaA, ndhB and rps7. According to the plant mt genome evolution analysis, some ribosomal protein genes and succinate dehydrogenase genes were frequently lost during the evolution of angiosperms. Our data suggest that the kenaf mt genome retained evolutionarily conserved characteristics. Overall, the complete sequencing of the kenaf mt genome provides additional information and enhances our better understanding of mt genomic evolution across angiosperms.

Path Dependence and the Origins of Cotton Textile Manufacturing in New England Joshua L. Rosenbloom NBER Working Paper No. 9182 September 2002 JEL No. N6, N4 ABSTRACT During the first half of the nineteenth century the United States emerged as a major producer of cotton textiles. This paper argues that the expansion of domestic textile production is best understood as a path-dependent process that was initiated by the protection provided by the Embargo Act of 1807 and the War of 1812. This initial period of protection ended abruptly in 1815 with the conclusion of the war and the resumption of British imports, but the political climate had been irreversibly changed by the temporary expansion of the industry.

Introduction Since several thousand years ago, humans have been manufacturing linen, wool, cotton, and silk to be used as fibrous materials for clothing. In 繊維 (sen’i ), which is the word for “fiber,” the Chinese character 繊 (sen ) is a unit for decimal fractions of one ten-millionth (equal to approximately 30 Ǻ), while 維 (i) means “long and thin.” Usually, fibers are several dozen µ thick, and can range from around one centimeter long to nigh infinite length. All natural materials, with the exception of raw silk, are between several to several dozen centimeters long and are categorized as staple fibers. Most synthetic fibers are spun into filaments. Figure 1 shows how a variety of textile product forms are interrelated. Short fibers are spun into cotton (spun) yarns, whereas filaments are used just as they are, or as textured yarns by being twisted or stretched. Fabric cloths that are processed into two-dimensional forms using cotton (spun) yarns and filament yarns include woven fabrics, knit fabrics, nets, and laces. Non-woven fabrics are another type of two-dimensional form, in which staple fibers and filaments are directly processed into cloths without being twisted into yarns. Yet another two-dimensional form is that of films, which are not fiber products and are made from synthetic materials. Three-dimensional fabrics and braids are categorized as three-dimensional forms. This paper discusses spinning, or the process of making staple fibers into yarns, and winding, which prepares fibers for weaving.

  • 7. Wool Combing
    7. Wool Combing Errol Wood Learning objectives On completion of this topic you should be able to: • Outline the objectives of wool combing • Describe the design of a typical rectilinear comb • Explain the steps in rectilinear combing – feeding, initial combing, final combing and drawing off, and sliver formation • Discuss the means by which noils are removed, and the balance required in setting the amount to be removed • Explain the purpose of re-combing • Calculate: tear ratio, noil(%), romaine, regain and combing production • Discuss the factors that affect the combing quality of fine wools Key terms and concepts Combing (Nobel and rectilinear), nips per minute, doublings, noils, finisher gilling, packaging, re- combing, tear, noil(%), romaine, percent fibres less than 30 mm, combing production. Introduction to the topic Wool combing is a comprehensive term when used in its widest sense, and it embraces all the operations carried out in a topmaking plant. It includes the processes of raw wool scouring, drying, carding, backwashing and preparer gilling. Then follows the actual combing operation and the sequence of topmaking processes concludes with two gilling steps called top finishing (or finisher gilling). Combing is not included in the semiworsted or woollen processing routes. Wool combing, the single process, is indispensable in the manufacture of a worsted yarn. The card has disentangled the fibres in the mass of scoured wool and has mixed them in a roughly parallel formation. However, during the carding process many fibres will have been broken, and the card sliver will consist of a variety of fibre lengths. Some vegetable matter will have been removed but fragments remain.
